So it seems Canada's Wonderland has started construction on the yet to be announced ride. Land has been cleared and footers have been poured. Rumors abound on the internet have this ride possibly being a Intamin Giga (a label was found that had the word "giga" on it). I'd be very shocked if it was something like I305 as they already have Behemoth.

Im sure it is to get rummors going. Carowinds had markers up that said "HUSS GF" on them, than they were mysteriously gone, than they had markers that said "GCI" now thos are gone. I am sure this is probably something like that. Like you said with Behemoth, I would doubt something like I305 also.

DUDE! I was gunna mention a B&M giga coaster in the 2014 Coaster thread but I was afraid people were gunna be all like " Are you stupid?" lol. But a dive coaster would be cool, they look amazing! I would like a giga dive machine.......................

Life is a roller coaster, you have your ups and downs unless you fall off

Vaughan, ON (August 18, 2011) - In 2012, Canada’s Wonderland will unveil one of the biggest and tallest roller coasters in the world: Leviathan. When the Park opens in May 2012, Leviathan will dominate the Park’s landscape, taking riders to breathtaking heights and speeds never experienced before at Wonderland.

The excitement begins on Leviathan’s first lift hill as riders climb to a record breaking height of 306 feet (93.3M) followed by an exhilarating 80 degree drop. Reaching a top speed of 148 kilometers per hour, riders will experience extreme coaster thrills on 5,486 feet (1,672M) of track that includes a series of giant camelback hills reaching heights up to 180 feet (54.9M), and an astonishing overbanked hammerhead turn at 115 degrees that will cross above the Park’s front gate at 147 feet (44.8M) high.

“Leviathan will be our 16th coaster and now positions Canada’s Wonderland as one of the top three coaster destinations in the world.” said Raffi Kaprelyan, Vice President and General Manager, Canada’s Wonderland. “We will go higher, longer, and faster than ever before when we launch Leviathan in 2012. With the addition of this new coaster and our diverse collection of rides, shows and attractions, we continue to show why Canada’s Wonderland is the destination of choice for those seeking world class thrills and family entertainment."

Leviathan is designed and manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, of Monthey, Switzerland. The highly recognized industry leader in roller coaster development also constructed Behemoth, which premiered at Canada’s Wonderland in May 2008.

Construction is well underway at the park, with a completion date of May 2012. Guests who would like to experience Leviathan before the Park opens next year can visit leviathan.canadaswonderland.com to view ride renderings, specifications, construction updates, and experience a virtual ride simulation.

Same exact thoughts, awesome B&M is breaching their usual territory... but im not impressed with the layout at all. It's just big for no reason.

"Too scary for your family?
Visit us during the day to experience family-friendly rides, Sesame Street Forest of Fun and Land of the Dragons children’s areas, and up-close animal encounters perfect for fall fun. Once the clock strikes 6 p.m., the Howl-O-Scream scares begin which may not be suitable for young children."

It's a more exciting layout to me than say, one nice drop and a bunch of ground-hugging, neck-snapping, greyout-inducing turns. This looks to have everything I love in a steel coaster, big, fast, smooth, aaaaaand fast. I loved Behemoth and this looks like a great way to add a similar-sized coaster with a totally different feel.
